Jonesboro Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Jonesboro, AR for residential and commercial properties across northeast Arkansas. A tarp does two things. It stops water coming into the house, and it takes every gallon that used to spread across a whole roof plane and pours it out of one corner instead. On the ridge that second thing can do more damage than the hole did.
So we tarp and we route. The tarp goes on properly, and then a temporary downspout or a length of hose carries the discharge away from the downhill wall and out onto something that will not wash out from under it in the night. That takes about ten extra minutes on site and we have never once regretted spending them on anybody's house.
Proper tarping means the sheet runs over the ridge and is fastened above the damage rather than merely around it, so water cannot work its way under the top edge in the next round. We roll furring strips into the edges and screw through them, because staples and sandbags come off in the second band of wind, which around here often arrives the same night.
Heavy-gauge material only. The blue hardware-store tarp is a three-week product at the very best in Arkansas sun, and it will be shredded and flapping on your ridge long before anything permanent gets scheduled. We would rather install something that holds through a claim process that routinely takes two months from the first call to an approved scope, and then hold it a while longer.
If a tree is still sitting in the roof we do not simply pull it out first. Cutting it back and covering around it is frequently safer than removing the thing currently holding your framing in position, and that call gets made on site by somebody qualified who is actually looking at the load path rather than over the phone. If we are not certain, we bring in somebody who is.
Emergency mitigation is generally covered by your policy, so photograph everything before, during and after, and keep the mitigation invoice separate from the repair estimate. We write it that way by default because that is how adjusters ask for it, and a clean separation up front avoids an argument about scope three weeks later. Ask your adjuster for the mitigation line item before anybody starts permanent work on the roof itself.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall corner, synthetic underlayment fastened with capped nails — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jonesboro and nearby communities including Paragould, Brookland, Bono, Bay.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency tarping
The difference between emergency tarping that lasts and emergency tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Jonesboro job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northeast Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jonesboro Chooses Jonesboro Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states where each downspout ends and what it lands on, because Jonesboro sits on a loess ridge and the soil at that point is the part of the system most likely to fail first.
- ✓We refuse to put drywells, pop-up emitters or buried infiltration on ridge lots. Loess sits over a fragipan around two feet down, so water put into the ground near the house cannot descend and travels sideways at footing depth instead.
- ✓Roof inspections here end at grade. We photograph headcuts, undermined splash blocks and exposed footings, and we tell you when a reported roof leak is actually ground water rather than selling you a roof.
- ✓Metal roofs only leave here with a full gutter package on a sloped lot, because a smooth panel delivers the same rainfall in a shorter, harder pulse and an unguttered drip line cuts a trench in erodible silt.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Jonesboro follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every emergency tarping project in Jonesboro gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
